Filipino (Female) Bloggers Meet-Up

It has been a few weeks after I first met with Biankita, usagijen and Hazy.  The Oct 5 AniCon was Hazy and Usagijen’s first attempt to watch a cosplay event.  I am happy to hear them say that they enjoyed it.

Usagien was so sweet.  she gave me this little clown:

The cookies Bianx was selling…  they’re tasty!!!

Cosplayers at the AniCon are mainly Narutards and Notetards a trickle came as anything else.

I enjoyed the costumes at CosMania more…  I saw this guy playing Sailor Moon and he was hilarious.  Since Philippines Cosplay is not strictly japanese anime, two versions of Spidey were there…  the normal spidey and venom.  Funny thing is, they had a little BL pose for the hungry cosplay supporters waiting for the cosplayers to do some action.  I was not able to take photos, too bad.  There are lots of them over at philcosplay.com and the other ladies’ blogsites.

Too bad I had to go early…  I had to go somewhere else for a meeting during CosMania.  Wasn’t able to meet Hazy…

While we are on the topic of Cosplays, there will be another one coming up…  It is also sponsored by Animax-Asia…  The UP AME 8th Ave.
